Newer appliances sound different flom older appliances. Modern appliances have more
features and use newer technolog T.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

The new high efficiency compressor
may run faster and longer than your
old appliance and you may hear a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sounds while
it is operating.

Sometimes the appliance runs for an
extended period, especially when tile
doors are opened Dequently.

You may hear a whooshing sound when

tile doors close. This is due to pressure
equalizing within tile appliance.

The cabinet fan runs confimlously except
when tile door is opened.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sounds

when the appliance is first i)lugged in.
This hal)pens as tim appliance cools to
the coITect temi)eramre.

Tile electronic control board may cause
a clicking sound when relays activam to
control appliance components.

Expansion and contraction of cooling
coils during and after defrost can cause
cracking or i)oi)ping sounds.

WHIB./

You may Ileal the fans spinning at

high speeds. This lmppens when the
appliance is first plugged in, when the

door is opened fiequently or when a
large amount of food is added to tile

appliance. Tim fans hel I) maintain
desired temperatures.

If the door is open for over 3 minutes,

you may hear the fans come on in order

to cool tile light bulbs.
The thns change speeds in order to provide

optimal cooling and energy' saving:s.

WATERSOUNDS

freezer cooling coils may make a

gurgling noise like boiling water.
_4'amr dropping on flae deflost hearer can

cause a sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing sound
during file defrost cycle.

A wamr dripping noise may occur

during tile deflost cycle as ice mehs
